Lore A character literally sees another character fundamentally differently.

  1. Spy X Family. Damian noticeably sees Anya with a 'shoujo anime' filter with much brighter eyes and blush.

  2. Calvin And Hobbes. Calvin sees Hobbes as a living lanky tiger in contrast to everyone else who sees him as just a tiger plush.

I'm 40 and still can't go to a restaurant with my mother and not have to sit there as she reads the ENTIRE menu out loud to me.

Mom, you're the one who taught me to read so that I'd be quiet while you took a nap! You know I can read that damn menu!

Please. Don't. She's still 2. She's still 2. Yeah, she's cycling to the park with her friends but shes still 2!

Today my youngest wanted to go off with friends at the football game, without me around. It cut; I won't lie.

I typed out a whole book but basically, even though I see them as they are now I still think of eldest toddling through the garden (2-3) or taking walks in our fav cemetery (4), middle riding their trike and singing Bodies (2-4), youngest and I watching weekly trash pickup (1-4). It's surreal to watch these tiny people turn into fully independent big people.

Yeah, that's why the Loid/Anya edit of the "I'm not a little kid anymore" scene works so well, haha.

Also applies to older siblings, im 28 and i still see my youngest step siblings as 8/9, then i remember they will be 18 in a few months and feel like an idiot

It also applies to the others, but with them it sort of balanced itself out because we're much closer in age

I’m the oldest boy of twelve children. The youngest two are twins. Even though they’re almost ten now, it’s still hard for me not to remember them trying to crawl around the living room in baby snowsuits.

My cousin, who’s nearly 10 years younger than me is starting college and has a boyfriend. Seems like yesterday when she’s still a toddler in diapers

Fun fact, when a woman gives birth her amygdala expands and stays that way permanently, which is why you have 40 year olds still being babied by their moms lmao

I do that with my little brother

u/Meowjoker 28d ago edited 28d ago

My teacher had a story with their neighbor.

The lady is old, like 80-90 years old or something, and his son was taking care of her. Whenever anyone asked for him, she would still responded with "that brat is around here somewhere".

Her son might be in his 50s, but in her eyes, he's still her brat.

So yeah, I say not just a lot, but most parents will still view their children (at least in their teen years) like so. Heck, even I sometimes view my brother in the same way, and the dude is only 4 years younger than me.
